Storm Emma did indeed leave a trail of destruction. First of all boats were dragged by the wind from within the harbour up onto the dry land and then the tarmac was reportedly ripped from the road by the tide.

The big swells and waves saw the owners of Tea on the Quay warn people to be very careful and in the end they decided to close for the day on Friday March 2. They were not closed for long, however, and joked that “the punts are just a little closer than normal”.

This morning must have felt like a case of déjà vu as the harbour was flooded by spring tides once again.
